Check your rear swing arm bearings. Any play in these (they are basic on a ybr) and the back end will not play ball with you. Esp in wet and on rougher surfaces the back will flip flop around.
They are very cheap for new ones and not a hard job so long as the swing arm bolt isn't frozen. As others have said, little bikes tyres don't get as warm as heavier bikes so you don't get the same type of grip

A year has flown by and the little YBR 125cc plods on and on. 21k miles I've done now, bringing its total to 53k. Its been pretty good, just needing regular oil changes, 2 bulbs, air filter, new rear tyre, two chain and sprocket sets, clutch cable and a bit of soldering where the plug between the magneto and reg/rec melted... I kind of feel like I should be doing more to maintain it but it just keeps going and engine wise it feels/sounds fine.
What's eating me is my complete lack of confidence in the damp still and wether the caution is justified. I just can't relax which is counter intuitive, I know.
So it's time to start looking into this full licence malarkey, I wasn't intending to do the cbt again so need to crack on!
